The Lekki Muslim Nursery and Primary Schools (LMS) received the best quality education award (Muslim Schools Category) at the West African Quality Education Awards in 2023.
The award ceremony was held in the banquet hall of the Sheraton Hotels and Towers in Ikeja, Lagos.
The organisers stated that they had been monitoring the school’s activities since September 2022 and had also sent observers to pose as potential parents, which was also done in other schools. Still, it was chosen as the winner for the academic year 2022/2023 due to its quality education policies.
Speaking about the award, LEMU president Alhaji Sola Labinjo said, “Nothing is impossible if the mind is set to work relentlessly towards achieving the set objective.”
It gives me great pleasure to celebrate this award by the Lekki Muslim School, on behalf of the Board of Trustees and the Executive Committee of the Lekki Muslim Ummah, I congratulate the Lekki Muslim Ummah (LEMU) School Governing Board, the School Management in general and the School Administrator in particular on this very heart warming recognition.
However, I wish to admonish the management of the School, not to be complacent as our goal is yet to be attained and the best is yet to come, he advised.
He assured LMS that the Executive Committee would continue to fully support the Schools Government Board in its efforts to elevate all of our educational institutions to the highest level by providing a strong and solid foundational Islamic and secular education.
Alhaji Kazeem Adeniji (SAN), chairman of the Board of Governors and former Attorney General of Lagos State, congratulated the school administrator and LMS staff on this outstanding achievement.
The mandate of the Board of Governors is to ensure quality and standard of excellence. This award has confirmed the effort of the BOG in achieving this mandate, he said.
Mr Jamiu Mustafa, LEMU Schools principal, appreciated the support and cooperation of the Board of Governors, Executives of LEMU, the parents, pupils and members of staff of LMS.
This is the first time in the history of LMS that an award of this magnitude would be presented to us.
Mustafa stated that the award was given as a result of the BOG members’ approval of recommended quality education policies for implementation. “Parents, teachers, students, and the LEMU Executive all support the policies,” he said.
